A good discourse is that from which nothing can be retrenched without cutting into the quick.
Saint Francis de Sales
A moral lesson is better expressed in short sayings than in long discourse.
Johann Georg Zimmermann
Actual human discourse happens within a number of contexts, not in some sort of unified public forum.
Rowan D. Williams
As I say, I'm a discourse advocate. What form it comes is less important to me than the fact that there is discourse.
Jim Lehrer
Bad faith likes discourse on friendship and loyalty.
Mason Cooley
Besides the actual reading in class of many poems, I would suggest you do two things: first, while teaching everything you can and keeping free of it, teach that poetry is a mode of discourse that differs from logical exposition.
A. R. Ammons
But one did not do feminist theory, as such, in those days, not only because male academic discourse did not recognize such a term, but especially because the women's movement did not either.
Teresa de Lauretis
But ultimately what I was impressed by during my years in government was how much the intellectual climate and the prevailing intellectual notions constrained and represented the universe within which the discourse took place.
Lawrence Summers
Change of weather is the discourse of fools.
Thomas Fuller
Discourse is fleeting, but junk mail is forever.
Joe Bob Briggs
Every discourse, even a poetic or oracular sentence, carries with it a system of rules for producing analogous things and thus an outline of methodology.
Jacques Derrida
Fancy your having no sunshine in London yesterday! Here it was glorious, like full summer, and I sat up with the window wide open, listening to the discourse of two amorous thrushes.
Marie Corelli
Fruitful discourse in science or theology requires us to believe that within the contexts of normal discourse there are some true statements.
Kenneth L. Pike
Good company and good discourse are the very sinews of virtue.
Izaak Walton
I call the discourse of power any discourse that engenders blame, hence guilt, in its recipient.
Roland Barthes
I proceed with the proper subject of this discourse; namely, the further changes in scientific belief, which have occurred within my own recollection, even since the time when I first aspired to authorship, now forty- five years ago.
Asa Gray
I think it is very difficult today to have a reasoned public discourse on any controversial subject. Certainly, election years present a complicating factor.
John Poindexter
I'm in the civil discourse business. I think it takes all kinds. And more power to everybody.
Jim Lehrer
I'm not shy about heated debate or passionate discourse, but when people get crazy or rude, that's a buzz kill. There's got to be a better code of conduct, some basic etiquette.
Mos Def
If bloggers are to improve our public discourse - helping busy and usually uninformed people make sense of the world - it is necessary to use some sort of standard with which to judge their reliability. Perhaps the answer (strictly advisory) is a body of their peers. Perhaps not.
